Match report

B. Leon opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the seventh minute. Galaxy fought back and V. Letsoalo restored parity with a goal in the thirty-third minute.

The balance tipped after the interval. R. Williams scored an own goal in the seventy-seventh minute to put Sundowns ahead. And here's the thing — that moment changed everything. Galaxy pushed for an equaliser but Sundowns defended resolutely.

S. Mkhulise finished the job in style. He scored twice in the final ten minutes, first in the eighty-ninth and again in the ninety-fourth minute. Those goals secured the victory for Sundowns. The away fans celebrated a hard-fought result.
